E-Invoicing Advisory

Structured for Compliance.

Built for the Future.

The UAE’s e-invoicing framework under Federal Decree-Law No. 16 of 2024 mandates structured XML/PINT AE invoices for all B2B and B2G transactions by 2027. Businesses must appoint an Accredited Service Provider (ASP), reformat invoices to PINT AE standards, and integrate real-time reporting systems.

We help you navigate this legal, tax, and IT transformation, bridging ERP systems and FTA expectations.

Five Common E-Invoicing Challenges

01

ERP & Technical Readiness Gaps

Many legacy systems lack the ability to produce machine-readable invoices in the FTA-mandated PINT AE XML or JSON formats.

02

Misaligned or Incorrect Invoice Data

Misaligned or incorrect Buyer, Seller and Invoice data may result in delay in sending the Electronic Invoice within the prescribed timeline thereby attracting fine of AED 100 for each Electronic Invoice.

03

ERP–ASP Integration Challenges

The integration method that suits business needs affects cost and effort, so it must be chosen strategically.

04

Testing & Go-Live Failures

Companies face delays and penalties when they can't meet sandbox test criteria or simulate accurate data flows before the compliance deadline.

05

Penalty & Compliance Exposure

Non-compliance may result in fines of up to AED 1,000 per day, with additional penalties for incomplete reporting or failed submissions.
